You mention in the description that the bookmarklet starts with
"android:", is that correct?

If so there’s no chance of it being supported in webbrowser-app.
Bookmarklets are supposed to start with "javascript:". See bug #1407746
for support of correct bookmarklets.

I’ll keep this bug open though, as I’m curious of this "android:"
prefix. I guess you’re getting this because of our default UA string
that contains an "android" token. We could experiment with UA overrides
for lastpass to see if this gets us a better bookmarklet.

Title:
  LastPass bookmarklet not supported in ubuntu-touch browser

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  LastPass offers a bookmarklet feature, a little piece of javascript
  you can run from the address bar which fills in passwords for you.
  This is the only convenient way to use a password manager like this on
  a device that isn't natively supported by their plugins.  I used to
  use this feature all the time on my Nokia N900.

  The way it should work is:

  * Log in to the LastPass website, and in the "Tools" menu select "Bookmarklets"
  * Long press on "LastPass Fill!" and tap "Bookmark link"
  * Navigate to a website to log in to
  * On the address bar, clear the address and type "lastpass"
  * Bookmarklet will be suggested as a bookmark with a star icon (it starts "android:lpfill...")
  * Tap that bookmark
  * It should execute the javascript and fill in username and password (after authenticating with LastPass)

  In fact after tapping the bookmark it does nothing.
